Aster has launched its Aster Chain mainnet, incorporating zero-knowledge proofs and stealth addresses to enhance privacy and curb 'position hunting.' Initially launched on BNB Chain, Aster has expanded to Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum, transitioning into a sovereign Layer 1 ecosystem. Despite these advancements, Aster's market share in perpetual trading has halved from 40% to 20% since October 2025, with trading volumes dropping from $74 billion to under $10 billion by mid-March 2026. The native token ASTER has also faced challenges, plummeting 86% from $3 to $0.4, though it has seen an 80% recovery since February. The mainnet launch briefly boosted ASTER by 10% to $0.790, but gains were short-lived, with the token remaining in a tight range between $0.70 and $0.80. The introduction of a staking feature may influence future demand for ASTER.
